Ideas for headboards


Last week I challenged you to send me questions for free advice.  Here is an answer to one...


"We recently moved into a rental house.  I am looking for ideas for a headboard or some treatment to go above our bed.  It’s a king bed, and the walls are white.  I’m a do-it-yourself kind of girl and would love a few ideas."

Now the key here is a rental home, so you most likely can't do anything too permeant. The above is a sticker.  These are great because they really leave no mark, and make for a great statement.


This idea is a little more involved and shows more than one piece, but it is very easy to go to the local hardware store and have wood cut to a size you desire, then add padding and staple gun fabric.  If you make this long enough to touch the ground, you could prop this up and use the bed to hold it in place.


Lastly I have included a headboard made from a crate.  This can be attached directly to a bed frame, and if you look around a warehouse area in your town, you may even get this one for free!

Please remember to send in your questions!  I can be reached here.

See you Friday!
